Please, please, please don't blow this and lose in some inexplicable confluence of unlikely events and circumstances and crush what little hope I have left like LSU and the bowl game last year pleasepleaseplease

Oh, and Bamamitter, don't think I didn't see what you did there with the headline leaving out the Florida-UT game. Subtle. Or maybe you're just a moron. I know a lot of Bama fans, and many of them are intelligent, thoughtful people, and others are paranoid simps who think Phil Fulmer is hiding in their closet at night.

I'll just assume you've already started drinking and tell you to have one for me, I've got some work to do.

Forget it, he's rolling.

Much like that Tide of yours, whom I've been meaning to thank, for shutting up clowns like this so very quickly.

Holy hell, I've read some articles by "homers," but that guy must have been delusional.

It makes many Alabama fans appear sane by comparison.

I have a brother-in-law who went to Utah and I got us a pair of Sugar Bowl tickets when they played Alabama. We had seats in the plaza level of the Superdome and were seated in the corner of the north endzone. We were clearly among actual Alabama alumni, mostly middle aged people, and judging by their attire and accoutrements, had done well for themselves. They were exceedingly polite and gracious in defeat, offering my brother-in-law handshakes and congratulations. Meanwhile, a buddy of mine was up in the terrace in the middle of some Bama fans who weren't quite as genteel and saw quite a few fights and drunken behavior that reminded him of Tiger Stadium on one of its worst nights.

You know how the home crowd will boo when the visitors enter the field carrying their flags? Yeah, when Army, Navy or Air Force come in under the American Flag, the crowd reaction is always amusing "I want to boo, but I can't because of your flag... curses!"

Yeah, I'm not going to point fingers anymore, I acknowledge Alabama has a lunatic fringe part of it's fan base just like pretty much any large group of people do.

Well, yeah, I mean you've listened to the Paul Finebaum show... UT has those fans, too. Tulane, on the other hand, well, we don't really get riled up about too much, because what's the point?

I've never seen that type Tulane fan, but I still bet there are a few nuts in the bunch.

Most likely down in Houma. I do remember an episode of Mike Rowe's "Dirty Jobs" when he went to an alligator farm down there and the proprietor was wearing a Tulane t-shirt. At first, I was a bit stunned, but then, hey, I'm glad we've got a few nutcase fans stashed away here and there.
